Template Ranting!

Guess what i have been doing all day!

Fooling around with new templates!!

Since i saw pammy's new template, i had been dying to get one like hers and was i happy when i opened my blog this morning to see that she had sent me a link where i could get so many new, lovely templates.

I did find lots of templates and it was really difficult trying make a pick out of the hundred and one beautiful templates. Finally i settled for one, uploaded and saved it. I was very excited and couldnt wait to just view my new blog template.

(view blog), I clicked.

loading.................

Hmmm.....my page is coming up(rubbing my hands with glee with a wide smile on my face)

What The hell?!?!

Yea, the new template was there alright but where are all my links?? My blogroll? My pictures?? My Cbox???They were all gone!

Kia Kia,i went to customize. I needed to add my widgets back to the template.

Oya now, where is Edit layout? Why is this thing telling me to upgrade template?? I thought i just did.

Ok,let me click, maybe there is something even better out there.

Opening....................

Haba!! Which kain nonsense be dis na?! It has taken me to the same old templates i was running from initially.

Ok. So all the nice templates i saw are outdated. They were actually for the old blogger, which was why they didnt have the 'Edit layout ' feature where you can add links and pictures.

Oh well! What's a girl gotta do! I just have to stick with my reliable'Black dots'(thats what i call my template) at least until you teach me how to do it properly, pammy.

I so want a change of Template!Something like what pammy's got!!

Am i sounding like a spoilt child??I hope not.

Love those quotes...About those questions...i. YES...I AM in love..ii. Makes me want to be the best person I can, to be worthy of her..like conquering the world and laying it at her feet...ok, ok..enough BS..back to your regular scheduled programming..!!!

No o...those animals js want to reproduce and wouldnt know what love means.

to answer the question...I am in love and i think its a real beautiful thing...for me its an opportunity to really really creatively and thotfully treat my girl as well as possible...its about hw much i could make her happy beyond her wildest dreams...and for that opportunity i am truly grateful to God...did i mention? To be loved back is even better.

first of all, i want to say thank u 4 stopping by my blog.. Of all the quotes you had, this is my favorite...."Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. Let's do it, let's fall in love."Cole Porter

To some, Love is a disease that cannot be cured by any doctor except the lovers. To me, Love is wanting more for someone other than you. TO answer your question I cud say Yes i'm in love... it's a wonderful feeling. It only feels good when u fall 4 the right one at the right time.

about d old template...dats what I'm using too...I fit tish u how to add teh blog rolls and everything...it's kinda complicated and easy at d same time...it took me a w hile to get it tooso if u want to change ur background to a cuter one, I fit tish u oand yes u have to pay mehaha, na 50 dollars per minuteI am too expensivelmao

If i were you, i will keep all the codes of everything important to me on notepad.

click customizethen templatethen edit htmlclean off all the stuff that they have over therethen save template changes (should be blank)Then put the new codes over there...You should have a raw template with only the blogs that you have in place.

Now...depending on the template that you have chosen - it should have different headings.. for example where you see link 1,link 2look for the place within the code that says href and just put your stuff there, setting it up the way that they set their up. Alternatively..You could write up the links the way you want it using gmail documents..then just copy the codes.If the template you have has images, look amongst the codes for a line that says image src....

@manda,ewoo! Sorry love. maybe u don overchat wey make oga deactivate the yahoo msger.Dont worry i will open an MSN account too so we can chat there.Love makes us vulnerable,It could lead to lifelong happiness or sadness. Its a chance one has to take.
